The significance of vocational training is as follows:

(1) Vocational training is the need to improve the quality of workers.

China is the country with the richest labor resources in the world, but on the whole, the quality of China's labor force is still relatively low. The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward: comprehensively promote quality education and train hundreds of millions of high-quality workers, tens of millions of specialized personnel and a large number of top-notch innovative talents.

(2) Vocational training is the need to relieve employment pressure.

The contradiction between workers' quality and ability and employment demand is very prominent. To solve this problem, we need to strengthen vocational training. Vocational training, for job seekers, whether it is the first employment of new workers or the re-employment of laid-off workers, can improve their employability, find a job as soon as possible and shorten the unemployment period by acquiring job skills.

For on-the-job employees, by acquiring a higher technical level or being versatile, their ability to adapt to job changes can be improved, their innovation ability can be stimulated, and the stability of employment can be enhanced; For those with potential entrepreneurial qualities, they can improve their entrepreneurial ability and the success rate of independent entrepreneurship, and form a benign mechanism to promote entrepreneurship through training and employment through entrepreneurship.

(3) Vocational training is the need to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.

After China's entry into WTO, facing the increasingly fierce competition under the background of economic globalization, it has become a top priority to improve the competitiveness of enterprises. To improve competitiveness, we should not only take measures to strengthen management, speed up technological progress and product development, but also speed up the cultivation and cultivation of a team of high-quality skilled workers. Judging from the overall quality of employees in enterprises in China, the shortage of skilled workers has become quite prominent.

Vocational training is an educational and training activity aimed at cultivating and improving the quality and vocational ability of employed and on-the-job workers who directly meet the needs of economic and social development. Its meaning: ① it is a kind of labor resource development activity with workers as the specific object; (2) It is a kind of directional training, which aims to directly meet the specific needs of social and economic development; (3) Usually, standardized training is conducted according to the national vocational classification and vocational skill standards.

Vocational training is an important part of national education. It has both connections and differences with general education. Both of them are to develop intelligence and cultivate talents, but vocational training is to directly cultivate the specialized knowledge and skills necessary for workers to master a certain occupation.
